I have found since moving to North Carolina that there is such a thing as a wild rose. They grow everywhere up here. They are a vine that can reach 15 feet tall. They produce no flowers
We have wild roses in Ohio, but ours flower. Tiny flowers about the size of a nickel. (About 21 mm, for those who don't live with nickels! .) I'll take a picture this summer when they bloom and post it here.
Here is a wild one - volunteering to grow in the cement surrounding the dumpster at work!!

I have happily pointed out the milkweed and wild roses to my bosses so many times that they have told the landscaping crew to quit spraying for weeds! (I'm sure they are still charging the same, so they don't care!!).
Yay!!
It will be interesting to see the flowers. On the larger ones it may be worth your while hard pruning them during their dormant season - if you have one.
